- Certain medications/treatments

Essential Oils to Grow Eyebrows
Essential oils are potent natural substances extracted from leaves, roots, stems and even flowers of certain plants.
These oils are precious as only a few drops can be extracted from large amounts of plant material. But each drop is extremely powerful, as they are rich in special compounds that are still being studied. Some of these compounds include antioxidants, which fight free radical damage and heal, nurture and re-establish proper body functioning.
There are hundreds of essential oils out there. But some of them are more effective for the purposes of hair growth, including eye brow growth.

- Small clear mascara tubes (where to get it)
Directions
- In an empty, clean mascara bottle, carefully drop in all the ingredients using a pipette or small funnel. To add the vitamin E oil, snip the edge of the vitamin E capsule using a pair of sharp scissors then squeeze out the oil.

- Use 1 – 2 times a day, every day for 3 months.
Caution
- Do not get essential oils into your eyes. Since they are so concentrated, they can irritate and possibly damage your delicate eye membranes.
- Do not use more essential oil than recommended in the false hopes of trying to derive faster results. Essential oils are concentrated so they must be used sparingly.
